This is probably the most thought-provoking anime I've seen since Frieren. It's one of those shows that are painful to watch but they hold very necessary themes.

On the surface, this is an alien invasion sci-fi anime. But at its core, it's a sad, frustrating drama about different sides of humanity. You'll realise that within the first few episodes. This is just the author's take of what might happen on earth during a certain "alien invasion", and sadly it feels plausible. It sort of reminds me of the movie "Don't Look Up", but this is a pretty serious take on the situation.

While exploring human greed, arrogance and short-sightedness, this story also has many thought-provoking themes like the difference in understandings of justice for different people. How is that sense of justice formed? And how it can get entangled with convenience and affect one's actions. This is also a story about friendship, loneliness and guilt.

This show was also a lot more gutsier than I expected because there was some very disturbing stuff that happens even if not on frame. The animation and the soundtrack are pretty good too.

While I loved this anime till the 14th episode, the final 4 episodes were definitely not what I thought the story needed. But this story is very emotionally complex, so maybe a difference in perspective might change this opinion. But as of now it felt rushed to me. I really didn't understand the unreasonable decisions that the people in power made towards the end of the story. I get the point the author was trying to make, but there wasn't any build up to those decisions. While I understood the conclusion, I didn't really feel satisfied.

This is a very weird and complex story having numerous themes about humanity so there are some unnatural shifts in tone across the show.

But overall, I think this was a very impactful story. If it was marketed differently outside of Japan, it would have been a lot more famous.

What a series it was! From romance and comedy to gore and mystery, this series has all. It deals with a popular genre in a very unique perspective. More than 80 percent of this series feels like a slow countdown to a big event and this buildup to this big event really paid off. The unique art style really portrayed the theme very well. The characters are very likeable and almost all of the main characters received a perfect ending. The twists and cliff hangers after each episode hooked me till the end.

As a veteran anime watcher I can surely say that it's one of the best of it's genre. The only bad thing about this series is it's confusing episode order which is kinda annoying.

In short Dedede is an underappreciated piece of media that will surely become relevant and popular in 20 or more years. Shows like this deserve more appreciation and popularity.

I don't know I've got mixed feelings about this show it's just literally all over the place I don't even think the show itself knows where or what it wants to be at times it's just bounces all over the place it's never steady it if you don't pay attention you won't understand and even if you are paying attention you probably still won't understand it's kind of I don't know it got old quick probably about like after episode 8 it just got kind of dumb and repetitive but saying that it wasn't repetitive the repetitiveness of it just bouncing all over the place not knowing the direction it's going in it's just it's not it's not interesting at all I mean give it a try might like it but that's my opinion.
